Try it my way and see if you ever want individual Yorkeies again.

The pork looks absolutely amazing.

The spuds? Not so much.

After last weeks fishy fiasco, gone back to basics.

No meat was massaged in the making of this dinner.

question before i mark

why are the tines on the fork at such an acute angle?

I laughed so much at this!

This was Roxannes lunch today, admittedly we ate out and it's not a roast so doesn't count, but I liked the look of it so I thought I would post anyway 😉

I hope she managed to tuck into it before that lobster did.

Red, why does a roast have to have peas, cabbage and mash?

Nonsense imo.

Red, why does a roast have to have peas, cabbage and mash?

Nonsense imo.

Because they add to the experience. go to any decent carvery and there will always be creamed mash, peas, (Mushy if you're lucky) and either cabbage, broccoli or both.

A roast needs cabbage and peas for colour and contrast, and a bit of mash is great for mopping up the last of the gravy.

[Marky147]

Meh. Can't stand mash.

Yorkshire pud is ideal for mopping up gravy, imo.

I'm harsh but fair. If we start bandying 8/10 scores about now, what will we do when someone puts in a really decent effort?

Ah but you're one of those Southern weirdos. You can't even get decent mash south of Junction 26 of the M1.

Adding to the experience can be an unreasonable amount of things to serve up for a roast. I wouldn't want to put up my pics if the roast had to contain 7434753 things that imo aren't mandatory. Of course a carvery is going to have several options.

People needing to post pictures with the peas, cabbage, mash, broccoli etc is too much.

This is the description of a Sunday Roast as per wikipedia:

The Sunday roast is a traditional British and Irish main meal that is traditionally served on Sundays but can be eaten on any day of the week, consisting of roasted meat, roast potato or (very rarely) mashed potato, with accompaniments such as Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, vegetables and gravy.

We should judge them as such. Docking marks for not specifically having peas or cabbage is not something I expect from an international playboy.

How is nobody criticising this create your own Sunday dinner bs, just plate the bugger up and serve it how each person likes, hardly that tough unless your serving 10 people, hate that.
